HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Care of PRESCRIBED Fruit.

Keeping fruit of any kind depends on
three.things. 1t must be sound to begin
with. A speck of decay or acid change
will develop ferment in kettle Of fruit.
Second, the jars or cans must be air
tight. The object of stesming the fruit
is to expel the air and arrest the change
in the Juice, which would naturally pro-
coed to ferment. Air penetrates in finer
ways than we can discern and needs
much less than the crevice of hair or
pins point to enter and spoil the con-
tents. Glass that is free from cracks or
air-blubbles, we'll glazed stoneware free
from flaws, yellow ware, or strong, dark
carthen jars will keep the fruit from the
air, provided it is sealed with putty,
wax, or bladder soaked and left to
SHRINK on the mouth of the jars. Cans
with screw tops and rubber rings are apt
to have slight defects which prevent per-
feet sealing and cannot be depended on
without wax.
Third, the jars must be kept in dry,
dark, cool place, very little above freez-
ing. A shelf in furnace-warmed cellar
or store-room opening from a kitchen is
not the place to preserve fruit. Il may
be put up in the best manner and yet
spoil through keeping in the light or
where it Is not cool. Glass cans should
be wrapped in paper, buried in sand or
sawdust, or kept in dark closet. Packed
with plenty of chaff, dry sand, or saw
dust, or dry sifted ashes, most preserves
will stand freezing weather without in
jury, but each can needs at least six inches
of non-conducting material about it on
all sides for production. A pit on one
side of the cellar, dug below the reach of
frost and lined with boards, with straw
or ashes between them and its walls, will
keep preserves from heat or freezing. A
pit dug in the cellar four feet below the
level of its floor, we'll drained and lined
as above, will prove the best place for
hkeeping small quantities of preserves,

Recipes.

TOMATO PREsERvEs.-To have good
preserves the tomatoes should be about
third ripe. Remove the skin with a
very sharp knife, for the thinner the peel
ing the more whole the tomatoes will re-
main. Pour into a preserving kettle
enough water to cover the bottom an inch
deep. Measure the tomatoes and put
them into the kettle; add as much sugar
as tomatoes, and let them cook slowly for
several hours. The syrup must be thick
and the preserves rich brown.
PRESERVING RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT.
Peel and cut in small pieces, cover it
with boiling water, let it stand five min
utes, then pour off all the water and put
the rhubarb on the fire in kettle with
little water, and cupful of sugar to each
bowlful of the fruit. After it has boiled
slowly for ten minutes, put into glass
lars, and seal while hot. Glass is better
than tin for rhubarb, which is very acid
and may attack the tin.
APPLE CHARLoTTE.-B a deep
dish thickly. Cut smooth slices of bread
and spread them with butter, and line
the bottom and sides of the dish. Fill
3 it with sliced sour apples. Sprinkle each
layer of apples with brown sugar and any
spice you prefer, also few small bits OF
butter Soak some slices of bread for a
minute in milk or water; lay them on the
top and cover them with a plate that will
fit close, and lay a weight upon that.
= Bake 2t hours in moderate oven. 1t
should tuln out whole into another dish.
! Serve with cold sauce.
BEEF SCALLoP. - Two cups Of cold
uuderdone roast beef, one cup of raw
potatoes, cut into dice, two beaten eggs,
/ mustard, pepper, salt and teaspoonful
! of finCy minced onion, one cupful OF
gravy or stock. Peel and cut the toma-
toes lay them in cold water for half an
hour, drain, cover them with boiling
salted water and stew gently ten minutes
drain off the water, add the gravy and
the beef chopped fine; cook slowly for
ten minutes, turn into bowl, beat In the
eggs, the onion, salt, and mustard, put
into creased bake dish, strew crumbs
on top, bake covered half an hour, then
brown.
BLACKBERRY JELLY.-Use only per
feet fruit, boil till tender in enough wa
ter keep the berries from burning. Strain
through a flannel Jelly bag, pressing out
all the Juice. Strain two or three times
through clean cloth, return the juice to
a clean preserving kettle; for every pint
of juice allow pint of sugar and the
beaten white of an egg for the whole

is we'll to test 1t by putting few drops
in a tin on the ice, When done run
through the jelly bag, If the first drip
ping is not entirely clear, return to Tho
strainer until it runs clear. Put the jelly
into glasses when it has become firm, Gu
out little papers to fit the top, dip then
in brandy, and put over the jelly. Plac'
over these larger papers, brushed owe
with the white of an egg; press the edge
against the side of the glasses to exclude
the air. These directions apply to tn
making of nearly all jellies.

Australia.

Australia first became known to Eu-
peans in the beginning of the seven
teenth century. Though a vague outline
of land in this portion of the Southern
Ocean appears upon the map of some l'or-
tugucse navigators dated 1912, the first
real discovery was probably made by the
Dutch in 1906, when the Captain OF the
Yacht Duyfken, sent out from Bantam to
explore a part of the coast of New Guinea,
saw the northern shore of the continent
at a distance. The same year Torres
Strait was named from a Portuguese nayl-
gator who sailed through it. In 1916,
IIartog, Dutch Captain, came upon the
west coast of Australia and called II
Endrachts land, from the name OF ms
shin. From this time other parts OF the
west coast were discovered. In 1922 the
Leeuwin discovered the south coast at
Cane Leeuwin, and shortly after Van
Nuysts sailed from that cape on the
south coast to Spencer's Gulf. DeWltt'
Land and Carpcntaria, in North Austria

A CONSTANT WOMAN.
BY EVELYN THORPE.

which does not excite disgust, but, on
the contrary, a surprise akin to admiration

Cat and Eagle.

While two residents Of Galena, ILL.,,
were driving through Southern Wiseon-
sin recently, they witnessed, near Arena,
a fierce fight between a bald-headed
cagle and large tomcat. The proud
bird of the mountains" had attacked the
cat while hunting in the field, ana sue
ceeded in fastening its talons into the
animals back, when the battle immedi-
ately began and was continued amid ter
rifle yowls of the cat and the screams OF
the eagle. 1t was sort of catch-as-
catch-could contest, and while it con
tinued the feathers and the fur hew thick
and fast. The cat was too heavy for the
eagle to fly with, but it succeeded IN
raising it several times in the air, 100
feet or more at each effort, but the at
tenants to get away with its prey were fu-
tile. as the weight of the cat and its
fierce struggle for life invariably brought
the eagle TO the ground again, where the
battle was repeated with nearly the same
result. In the final bout, whicl look

New York city needs about 10000
postal cards month. Chicago comes
next on the list, with about 5000, 600
cards in the same period. There are
45O, 900, 900 postal cards manufactured
annually. The adoption of the two cent
postage did not cause any lcssening of
the use of postal cards, but checked the
growth of their use for some little time.
That check has been overcome, and the
public is using more postal cards every
day, the ratio of increase being constant
and steady.
